Professor William Leiss formerly, the Eco-Research Chair at Queen's University School of Policy Studies has stated that 'credible regulation requires the clear and unambiguous separation of a regulatory decision-maker from the economic interests under its jurisdiction.'33 The fear that industry may influence the assessment process is not unfounded. In 1998, for example, 'Health Canada scientists told an internal labour board that they were being pushed to approve the [genetically engineered bovine] growth hormone despite their concerns that it is not safe.'34 Dr. Shiv Chopra of Health Canada admitted that 'we have been pressured and coerced to pass drugs of questionable safety, including rBST [recombinant bovine somatotropin].'35 This kind of pressure must be removed from the system in order to ensure credibility and consumer trust.

Consultation with the public, licensees and other stakeholders is an integral component of developing the CNSC’s regulatory framework. The CNSC holds public consultations to seek input on its new or updated regulatory documents. Meetings and workshops may also be organized to engage stakeholders and solicit feedback on the development of regulatory policies and guidance. Stakeholders also have the opportunity to be heard at public Commission hearings when new or amended regulations, or regulatory documents are being discussed. When the CNSC proposes to exercise its authority in a new area or in a new way, discussion papers are used to engage stakeholders early on. The CNSC also participates regularly in outreach sessions, workshops, conferences and meetings that provide opportunities to clarify requirements for licensees and to respond to questions and concerns.
